Be Yourself !


 


Satan offered Christ the world


If He’d fall down and worship him.


Lies, all so terrible, that Satan hurled…


Christ used God’s Holy Word to answer them. 


 


We matter so much to Him…


Though it meant death,  He would obey.


Jesus was born to die ‘though it sounds grim.


He is the Truth, the Life, the only Way. 


 


God then gives us to the Son.


John seventeen says it is so.


Brethren we’ve been CALLED and by His blood won.


God gave us to Christ… NOT the world below.


 


We shall share in the glory


Which God the Father gave the Son.


Christ gives it to us now. That’s the story.


May we hear His words in Heaven… “Well done!”


 


The Spirit dwells within us


To teach and guide us ev’ry day.


 Comforter, indwelling just like Jesus,


He’s another like Him in ev’ry way.


 


We are being made holy…


It’s our condition on this earth.


He asks that each one give their life solely.


Be who you really are from your New Birth!
